<p>This study aimed to determine the effects of dietary red ginseng, <i>Panax ginseng</i> powder (RGP), on the growth performance, immunity, antioxidant system, and disease resistance of the rainbow trout, <i>Oncorhynchus mykiss</i>.

Mucus immune responses were also improved by the dietary RGP. The highest total Ig, alkaline phosphatase, protease, and lysozyme activities in mucus were observed in the RGP<sub>7</sub> group (<i>P</i> &lt; 0.01). The antioxidant enzyme activities, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), also showed significant increases with RGP supplementation(<i>P</i> &lt; 0.01). Liver enzyme activities decreased with higher RGP levels, particularly in the RGP<sub>7</sub> group (<i>P</i> &lt; 0.01).

摘要

This study aimed to determine the effects of dietary red ginseng, Panax ginseng powder (RGP), on the growth performance, immunity, antioxidant system, and disease resistance of the rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss. Eight experimental groups were established, including a control group and seven groups fed varying levels of ginseng powder (5 to 35 g/kg) over 60 days, followed by a challenge with Streptococcus iniae. The results indicated that ginseng supplementation significantly enhanced growth parameters (P < 0.01), with the final weight (FW) of fish in the RGP6 (fish fed 25 g/kg RGP) group reaching 56.7 g, compared to only 36.2 g in the control group (P < 0.01). Weight gain percentages (WG%), specific growth rates (SGR), and feed conversion ratios (FCR) also improved markedly in the RGP-fed groups (P < 0.01). Furthermore, Amylase, trypsin, chymotrypsin, and lipase activities increased with higher RGP levels, particularly in the RGP7 (fish fed 30 g/kg RGP) group (P < 0.01). Immune parameters in serum, including lysozyme, complement activity (ACH50), total Ig, and myeloperoxidase activity (MPO), demonstrated significant enhancements, especially in RGP6 and RGP7 (P < 0.01). Mucus immune responses were also improved by the dietary RGP. The highest total Ig, alkaline phosphatase, protease, and lysozyme activities in mucus were observed in the RGP7 group (P < 0.01). The antioxidant enzyme activities, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), also showed significant increases with RGP supplementation(P < 0.01). Liver enzyme activities decreased with higher RGP levels, particularly in the RGP7 group (P < 0.01). Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, were significantly lower in the RGP-treated groups compared to the control (P < 0.01). Control group exhibited the highest mortality after bacterial challenge, while groups RGP6 and RGP7 showed significantly lower mortality rates. Overall, the findings underscore the potential of RGP as a dietary supplement to enhance growth, immunity, antioxidant activity, and disease resistance in the rainbow trout, offering promising implications for aquaculture practices.
